In the paper, the author presents a brief outline of conducting and monitoring foreign language teaching. Such management must be based on strictly specified procedures and norms. The paper also presents procedures for performing teaching tasks as well as administrative ones, connected with teaching students a foreign language, on the example of UITM. The author describes the system for qualifying students to language groups, informs about risks that might occur when performing the tasks, and suggests preventive means to avoid those risks. The qualitative objectives and measures of attaining them are also covered. The paper indicates that the on-going process of economic and political changes as well as recent major demographic changes in Poland and in Europe make it necessary to continue seeking further improvements in managing the process of conducting and monitoring language teaching. Further concrete and effective action needs to be taken in managing the process of conducting and monitoring foreign language teaching.
The article provides an overview of the developments in Poland after the collapse of communism in 1989 from the point of view of foreign language teaching, including a swift reorientation and transition from a public school system with Russian as the main foreign language, to a diversified language teaching market focused on teaching English and other languages. A particular stress is placed on a relatively new phenomenon, being an increased demand and new opportunities for teaching Polish as a foreign language to be further promoted as a result of anticipated amendments to legal regulations governing the status and certification of the Polish language.
